So I needed a project planning journal/ notebook/ planner. I thought of using another binder style planner. I even considered an ARC system. But nothing was really settling well with me. I was actually getting quite depressed over it. I had used a composition book for a while before but that wasn't working for me. Not sure why. Maybe because it was ruled?&nbsp; Who knows. </div><div dir="ltr">Well Sam from the shop Happie Scrappie on Big Cartel recently released a fauxdori planner kit. I've been a Personal size subscriber for a few months now and always enjoy her kits! And she has started designing her own printed items! Note pads, stickers, and even Filofax style and fauxdori inserts! Sweet, huh? I upgraded from the Personal to the fauxdori kits because I wanted to try the inserts out. At the time, I didn't have a regular size Traveler's Notebook but I knew I could make due. </div><div dir="ltr">I had recently turned a journal cover into a TN and tried using that. It wasn't bad and held the Happiescrappie insert and a couple others I made myself. I don't have a pic right now but I'll do another post on that later. I'm not using it anymore. </div><div dir="ltr">The reason for it is because I received a gorgeous, gently used Midori from a lovely friend! She also sent me a Day Timer Malibu. Again, another post. Anyway, the Midori is now my project planner/ brainstorming journal! Yay! </div><div dir="ltr">The Happiescrappie inserts are fabulous! The papet quality is amazing and I'm just so happy! Ok now for pics! Enjoy! </div><div dir="ltr">Stay inspired! <br />Aggy ^_^</div><div dir="ltr">PS.</div><div dir="ltr">Also features here are the Plan It set of Studio L2e Stamps. ^_^<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GMTW0xs9NaI/VZtqzYmPoiI/AAAAAAAAJYs/L7JABTiejJ4/s1600/20150607_125255.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" height="225" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GMTW0xs9NaI/VZtqzYmPoiI/AAAAAAAAJYs/L7JABTiejJ4/s400/20150607_125255.jpg" width="400" /> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uWuwHzwDnJo/VZtq2pqYH-I/AAAAAAAAJY0/jc18ujzHzi8/s1600/20150607_122742.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" height="400" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-uWuwHzwDnJo/VZtq2pqYH-I/AAAAAAAAJY0/jc18ujzHzi8/s400/20150607_122742.jpg" width="225" /> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ik9EJu0eeMk/VZtq54njmFI/AAAAAAAAJY8/wOFWZeKODk4/s1600/20150607_122802.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Ik9EJu0eeMk/VZtq54njmFI/AAAAAAAAJY8/wOFWZeKODk4/s640/20150607_122802.jpg" /> </a> </div>Aggyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17707479668678822135noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123730732036690277.post-44486411729447163102015-07-01T20:08:00.000-05:002015-07-01T21:57:28.577-05:00Freebie - Retail Therapy Printable!!!Ok so I won't spend a lot of time explaining this.

There are loads of pics so have fun! I&#39;ll try to keep the descriptions short, yet clear. Just bask in all the planner/ stationery goodness!<br><br>Let&#39;s Start with my &quot;at Home&quot; Planner which is my Erin Condren Life Planner. I actually got this planner as a swap, believe it or not. It came brand new and I&#39;m soooo in love with it. And y&#39;all know how much of a binder planner lover I am. This planner stays at home. It is also where I&#39;ve been doing the bulk of my decorating. As you can see, there is a lot to have fun with in this planner. Anyway, pics!<br><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rL5RaCPcNDY/VSTgSHBiCiI/AAAAAAAAJRc/y6SgC4_AVzM/s1600/20150407_142629.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rL5RaCPcNDY/VSTgSHBiCiI/AAAAAAAAJRc/y6SgC4_AVzM/s1600/20150407_142629.jpg" height="640" width="360"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I made this chevron cover from a gift bag, but I&#39;m still looking for a better design.</div><br><a href="http://insmomniac.blogspot.com/2015/04/planner-setup-how-im-currently-using-my.html#more">Read more »</a>Aggyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17707479668678822135noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123730732036690277.post-8226141685334776042015-04-07T04:09:00.001-05:002015-04-07T04:09:03.578-05:00Playing Catch UpHi, Lovelies!<div><br></div><div>Ughhhhh!!!!

Between raising the 3 little ones, maintaining an online shop, and trying to stay alive while doing it all, it's pretty hard to find time to try and just type a few paragraphs! I dunno how y'all super moms do it! Let's just hope things ease up a little when M starts school this year. *knock on wood*<br /><br />So let's see what all I've NOT been doing first. Well Blogging is a given. I've also not been doing daily Bentos for the kids. They eat, trust me, they just don't get the cute stuff as often. I dropped the ball there. I've also not been doing much Doll Crafts. I'd really love to, I just don't 1) have the space since my brother-in-law moved back in and 2) have time since I'm constantly juggling with the kids and my shop. One other thing I've been neglecting is my kids' scrapbooks! I have been dreaming of starting to do Project Life style Scrapbooking but time and space is a big factor in my lack of motivation.<br /><br />BUUUUT I have accomplished some things in the time that I've been dormant on the blog. One very important feat is keeping the children ALIVE!!! Am I right? Hey it's not as easy as you think when you've got 3 kids under 5 bent and determined to try the opposite!!! Climbing on, grabbing, and jumping off of things!!! And for those of you veteran moms out there who have battled this and come out on top with your own (mostly intact) youngins, KUDOSSSS!!!! I think mine would love for my hair to turn grey before I'm 30.<br /><br />Some smaller, less impressive accomplishments have been: Reaching over 2k in followers on Instagram @theinsmomniac, upgrading my collection of planners, tiny success of my shop, meeting tons of lovely people online, gaining several penpals. I think each of those deserve their own blog posts so I'll jot the list down so I can remember to post about each subject. For now, please feel free to leave me any feedback. I'd love to hear any suggestions for posts.<br /><br />Blogging GOALS:<br />- Start YouTube Posts<br />- Post More Bento Pics<br />- Write more Refection Posts<br />- Start posting tutorials<br /><br />I'm hoping to post another update tomorrow so stay tuned! Stay inspired, y'all!<br /><br />&lt;3 Aggy<br /><br /><br />Aggyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17707479668678822135noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123730732036690277.post-78666624404018650292014-05-27T04:22:00.001-05:002014-05-27T04:22:36.112-05:00Birthday Week<p dir=ltr>I recently got a lovely birthday rak from a very lovely lady in one of my Facebook groups. Do I decided to use the goodies she sent. Because many of my days aren't very occupied, this was another week I got to decorate heavily! I love my washi and stickers! Hehe!</p><p dir=ltr>I used the card she made me in between the pages and attached extra tabs for later. Also used her envelope to store the leftover goodies just in case I needed more color coding and such. Some more of those gradation memo sheets like the ones I used last week for added writing and reminders! Added a homemade paint search page marker and viola! </p><p dir=ltr>As you can see, my birthday us coming up as well as my son's and my due date! So much to celebrate! Yay!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-fUjSUw4kdUs/U4RZSQN4hsI/AAAAAAAAJAI/RMjJS63Yrm4/s1600/PhotoGrid_1401077154922.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-fUjSUw4kdUs/U4RZSQN4hsI/AAAAAAAAJAI/RMjJS63Yrm4/s640/PhotoGrid_1401077154922.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-0VNPMNF5keg/U4RZUjN97WI/AAAAAAAAJAQ/EOyiBj5d13g/s1600/PhotoGrid_1401077216345.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-0VNPMNF5keg/U4RZUjN97WI/AAAAAAAAJAQ/EOyiBj5d13g/s640/PhotoGrid_1401077216345.jpg"> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-SGzJQf1T36s/U4RZWrvSNPI/AAAAAAAAJAY/nNf3wjXf6is/s1600/PhotoGrid_1401077322052.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-SGzJQf1T36s/U4RZWrvSNPI/AAAAAAAAJAY/nNf3wjXf6is/s640/PhotoGrid_1401077322052.jpg"> </a> </div>Aggyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17707479668678822135noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123730732036690277.post-63951163493565374412014-05-27T04:13:00.001-05:002014-05-27T04:13:28.799-05:00Memorial Day Bentos<p dir=ltr>Simple and significant.

I&#39;m SOOO sorry! I&#39;ve been working on my Etsy shop a lot and getting that going along with regular Full-Time mommy duties has taken up the majority of my time. I should also report that there is no baby yet! This one looks like he&#39;s in for the long haul like his older siblings were. But I do have about a week left so we&#39;ll see.<br><br>I think I&#39;ll take this time to post my planner pages here and then my bentos on another. So here&#39;s what we&#39;ve got so far. I am working on Next week&#39;s pages but they&#39;re not finished yet. Those will be posted soon. I&#39;m excited to do so, as next week is my BIRTHDAY week! As well as my Son&#39;s (new baby is due on his birthday!)

I recently got a shipment in of new washi tapes. I had already decorated this week but was feeling a little disappointed in it. I went back and used a little of my new washi, some more stickers, and a Project Life journaling card I got from a lovely friend in one of my facebook RAK groups. I was much happier with the result this time around.<br><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_SK32TsEQL8/U2Hek07QgdI/AAAAAAAAI9Y/Q6ESN8egoh0/s1600/10300277_792675174076727_4429706501536977459_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img height="400" src="https://scontent-a-mia.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/t1.0-9/10300277_792675174076727_4429706501536977459_n.jpg" width="400"></a></div><a href="http://insmomniac.blogspot.com/2014/05/this-weeks-planner-pages-minnie-mouse.html#more">Read more »</a>Aggyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17707479668678822135noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123730732036690277.post-2564597255289562562014-04-30T23:55:00.000-05:002014-04-30T23:55:27.707-05:00Super Quick BentoHey, All!<br><br>Sorry for the lack of posting.

Since I&#39;ve been looking into the Project Life style of scrapbooking and receiving some very lovely RAK (random acts of kindness) mail containing tons of little embellishments and cards and such, my creative juices have been flowing in all things paper craft. I couldn&#39;t contain myself and I went ahead and decorated my pages for the first week of May. I&#39;d been trying to go a week at a time so that I don&#39;t end up with nothing to do, but I just had to break out the washi, and stickers and go to work.<br><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5JtM-nPB50E/U1392OOXUPI/AAAAAAAAI8g/mINXkO-nH1Q/s1600/20140427_102359.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5JtM-nPB50E/U1392OOXUPI/AAAAAAAAI8g/mINXkO-nH1Q/s1600/20140427_102359.jpg" height="300" width="400"></a></div><a href="http://insmomniac.blogspot.com/2014/04/planner-pages-week-jump.html#more">Read more »</a>Aggyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17707479668678822135noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123730732036690277.post-39872566930255289322014-04-24T02:53:00.000-05:002014-04-24T02:53:53.729-05:00Fresher, Easier, and Healthier Bentos in our Easylunchboxes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hi there!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Back into the bento mood!

I do have an OB appointment tomorrow/ today so I&#39;ll be in town running the errands after that. We live too far from everything. I added a little Earthy inspirational card from my old stock of scrapbooking pages for Earth Day. My creative fingers have been itching to jump ahead to the week after next.

Easter was a crazy adventure! So now I&#39;m starting to get back into the swing of things. Let&#39;s see, what&#39;s been going on?<br><br>Well Easter Sunday I was up at 7 to start on making quiche for the first time in my life! They actually came out pretty well and they were delicious! I can thank Pinterest, yet again, for helping me provide a top meal. Haha! That didn&#39;t stop Daddy from grilling some very tasty BBQ chicken. I also made our famous Macaroni Salad and Potato Salad. The kids got their baskets, which they loved because this awesome mommy know&#39;s what they like. And I was back to preparing for the day that was still up in the air. I got dolled up, got the kids dressed, and made hubs put on a decent shirt, and we had a photoshoot outside in between torrents of rain.<br><a href="http://insmomniac.blogspot.com/2014/04/catching-up-and-raks.html#more">Read more »</a>Aggyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17707479668678822135noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123730732036690277.post-9746568118760117432014-04-21T05:56:00.001-05:002014-04-23T04:14:55.640-05:00Final Easter Bento<div dir="ltr">Easter kicked my butt, y'all! </div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">But the kids had a blast so it was all worth it!

I don&#39;t think I&#39;m done with these pages, but I don&#39;t really want to touch them too much as I tend to get ahead of myself and have nothing left to do when a craft itch hits later on.<br><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WuAQMRp8Pyw/U09oGscXXhI/AAAAAAAAI3E/BEiL0hGUPFo/s1600/20140416_015917.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WuAQMRp8Pyw/U09oGscXXhI/AAAAAAAAI3E/BEiL0hGUPFo/s1600/20140416_015917.jpg" height="300" width="400"></a></div><a href="http://insmomniac.blogspot.com/2014/04/week-peek-glance-at-next-ccouple-of.html#more">Read more »</a>Aggyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17707479668678822135noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123730732036690277.post-19028600542984188312014-04-16T23:59:00.000-05:002014-04-16T23:59:45.124-05:00Mini FiloHaul PLUS a quick DIY IdeaHey, Everyone!<br><br>I decided to take a little break last night from the blog as I was very tired and actually got sleepy hours before I normally do. I still managed some pics of my mini haul from our day in town. But I didn&#39;t quite feel up to posting. As you may have read in my last post, <a href="http://insmomniac.blogspot.com/2014/04/bento-day-easter-edition-day-1-and-2.html" target="_blank">Bento-A-Day Easter Edition Day 1 and 2</a>, M had a doctor&#39;s appointment and I had packed a bento for her and everything as we&#39;d be in town a few hours. The day went very nicely, I even got to pick up the last of the kids&#39; Easter basket fillers! I&#39;ll share pics of that too, I think. Well I also picked out a few things to add to my ever growing stationery stash for my little Day Runner.<br><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-41ImntdRbQs/U09UXSADb0I/AAAAAAAAI1w/uaiyUiXbpxU/s1600/20140416_001222.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-41ImntdRbQs/U09UXSADb0I/AAAAAAAAI1w/uaiyUiXbpxU/s1600/20140416_001222.jpg" height="300" width="400"></a></div><a href="http://insmomniac.blogspot.com/2014/04/mini-filohaul-plus-quick-diy-idea.html#more">Read more »</a>Aggyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17707479668678822135noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123730732036690277.post-83894646281226730432014-04-15T04:41:00.000-05:002014-04-15T04:42:12.347-05:00Bento-a-Day Easter Edition: Day 1 and 2Hi There!<br><br>Doing a few things at once here: Updating the blog, doing my nails, filling in my planner, watching Fish Hooks... don&#39;t judge me. Anyway, I have decided to try and do a bento a day for the kids in honor of Easter. This is kind of an event for me because I don&#39;t always get to prepare a bento everyday for them. But I&#39;m really going to just get off my butt and do this. So far, the week is going pretty well.<br><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KLSU5IC6pXs/U0z4pmUjANI/AAAAAAAAI1Q/Tn8AZ6V1hNU/s1600/20140414_160339.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KLSU5IC6pXs/U0z4pmUjANI/AAAAAAAAI1Q/Tn8AZ6V1hNU/s1600/20140414_160339.jpg" height="300" width="400"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I&#39;d been seeing a lot of Bunny Butts all over Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook so I can&#39;t take credit for this idea. But I did try my hand at it. I like how it turned out and my IG friends seemed to enjoy it as well. Bubba actually ate this sandwich, which is a victory for me because he&#39;s only just started like sandwiches.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br><a href="http://insmomniac.blogspot.com/2014/04/bento-day-easter-edition-day-1-and-2.html#more">Read more »</a>Aggyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17707479668678822135noreply@blogger.com2
